Food.pov is my entry to the raytracing competition for April 1995.  The theme
being FOOD of course!

The image produced is that of a plate of chips, an egg and a can of 'Slurpy'
which sits on what looks like a fast-food bar benchtop. Salt and pepper shakers
sit nearby and a knife and fork have been kindly provided.

How did I do it?
---------------
Well, this being my first attempt at developing anything of realistic value,
I am sure this could have been done better!  But here goes...

**The Plate:
To get it to look realistic, I used a rotational sweep.  An off-white colour
was used to make it look like bone china.

**The Egg:
The egg-white is a flat Bezier patch, coloured white.  The Yoke, simply a
stretched sphere with Yellow colour.

**The Chips:
Stretched Cubes.  Coloured an off-Yellow/Semi-brown colour.
Placing them in such a way as not to intersect was a tough job!  Note that
since the egg is flat and the plate has a dip in it, I placed a few chips in
front of the egg to hide the shadow below the egg!

**The Salt & Pepper shakers:
Simple cylinders with texture-maps that I drew.  A stretched sphere with
3 cylinders as a CSG object were used as the tops of the shakers.

**The Vase:
Another Rotational sweep.  White Marble texture was used.
I had planned to add flowers, but gave up after spending all day working on
the image!

**The Benchtop:
Large Cube with Rosewood texture.  I could have used a plane here.

**The Wall:
Plane with a texture-map.  I utilised a bitmap from OS/2 - DELFT.BMP which I
converted to a GIF using Graphic Workshop 7.0.

**The 'Slurpy' can:
Texture-mapped cylinder, Disk on top with Chrome texture, Torus around the top
to form a rim, and a Translational sweep as a tab on top.

Pretty simple really, when you look at it!

Enjoy!
